Former congressman Harold Ford, former chair of the Democratic Leadership Council and banking executive, made a similar point on Fox. “I was an elite that supported you in 2020,” Ford said. “And said that we should do everything we possibly could do to advantage you against Bernie Sanders, because I thought Bernie Sanders’ politics were detrimental to the party and to the country.”
From Harold Ford’s Wiki
In April 2021, Ford joined Fox News as a political contributor.[7] He frequently appears on Special Report as a panel member and was named a co-host of The Five in January 2022.
Hey great going democratic party leadership, you’ve always looked like incompetent morons, now you look like corrupt incompetent morons!
SHOULD HAVE BEEN BERNIE. YOU STOLE OUR FUTURE TO PRESERVE YOUR PRESENT PROFITS.

I’m not sure we should be so pessimistic yet. They blocked a candidate but did nothing to kill it’s popularity. As long as we don’t succumb to Fascism within the next four years, there’s still a massive base of voters that would vote for a socialist in the '28 primary, and the left democrats will have had 12 years since Bernie’s first campaign to build up the infrastructure for it by that point.
“Fox News pundit now openly admits wanting to YET AGAIN fool people into helping billionaires get gigantic GOP tax cuts like in 2016 which was Bernie’s worst nightmare”.
2016: PROFITS WERE INCREASED GREATLY
SHOULD HAVE BEEN BERNIE.
We should have had more people wanting to vote Bernie. Absolutely. Too bad you didn’t work hard enough on that.
TO PRESERVE YOUR PRESENT PROFITS.
Biden raised the minimum corporate tax from 0% to 15%, and skillfully did it with the votes of 2 senators who are now independents.
2020: PROFITS WERE NOT PRESERVED.
Too bad you didn’t work hard enough on that.
Certainly not as hard as the party worked to shut out progressives for you.
for you.
For me as a huge Bernie Sanders supporter since before he was even a senator? LMFAO.
the party worked to shut out progressives
Will you stop with the nonsense? Who the fuck is “the party” and exactly how the fuck do they “shut out” people like me? You NEVER hear Bernie Sanders saying this shit – because he’s not an idiot.
